Is this for you?
This is ideal if you:
- Want brightening that doesn't oxidize in the bottle
- Layer antioxidants under SPF for daily support
- Have the look of uneven tone or dark spots
- Prefer a stable vitamin C over the kind that breaks down fast
Not ideal if you:
- Want immediate, dramatic brightening (this is cumulative)
- Are extremely sensitive to vitamin C in any form
- Specifically want high-strength pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), even though it's less stable
- Maybe a better fit for some of these issues: Clarity Serum.
Why this formula works
Stable vitamin C delivery
3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid is a stable vitamin C derivative that resists the oxidation that degrades pure vitamin C in the bottle, and converts to vitamin C in the skin.
Antioxidant synergy
Vitamin E adds antioxidant support alongside the vitamin C, with niacinamide working on even tone from a separate path.
Niacinamide tone evening
Niacinamide supports the look of more even tone, working on a separate path from vitamin C.
How to use
Morning Routine
Apply 3–5 drops to clean skin in the morning before moisturizer and SPF. Store away from direct light and heat to maintain stability.
